I measure to 57.5 and I ended up going with a Fed IV in a 58. At first it was big on the sides, but I was able to get it to fit by putting the included foam strips under the sweatband. After only a few wears, it shrunk up enough to remove the foam strips and fits just fine now.

Thanks for the suggestions. That Eastman vest looks really nice, but a little too expensive for me. I'll try to look into some other vests. I'll also take a look at the M-65 liner. Based on the pics I'm seeing, the arms might be too wide to fit properly underneath, but maybe I can try to find...

I have a US Authentic A-2 in goatskin. I like it a lot, but unfortunately A-2's aren't that warm and it doesn't seem like I get to wear it that often. I was thinking about looking into getting some sort of removable lining made for it (button or zip-out), possibly with something like...

It doesn't look like Akubra is making this model anymore, but it is basically identical to the Hampton. The model name is on the sweatband if you want me to take a pic.

Bump - still available

I just bought some of their 158R raw denim jeans and they're really nice. Mihai, I can try to take some pics if you want.
